Lindenwood University

The new College of Science, Technology, and Health established the LindenWELL program that offers senior activities through their W.I.S.E. activities. (Wellness Inspired Senior Education) These events are offered free of charge to participants age 60+. Some programs, such as Cyber-Seniors, partner with Aging Ahead, while others, such as Lunch with Lions, attending sports events and performances, and specialized education series, along with monthly wellness programs are conducted solely by the University. These programs have helped Lindenwood to achieve the status of Age Friendly University. To see currently offered activities, contact wise@lindenwood.edu or call 636-627-2940.

Bev Roy Hope Foundation

This foundation is a nonprofit organization established by Shelly Roy in honor of her mother, Bev, who was one of the many who lived with memory loss. Two notable achievements of the foundation are the establishment of the Memory Café for those who have been diagnosed with memory loss and their care partners, and the construction of Forget-Me-Not Park, in conjunction with the City of St. Charles Parks Department. Those who would like to accompany a friend or relative diagnosed with early memory loss to an enjoyable afternoon of socialization and fun can register to attend the Main Street Memory Café (insert link) that meets on Tuesday afternoons at various locations in St. Charles.

Plans are underway to establish a training for business owners, care partners, and all those working with people who have sensory or memory loss to undergo a virtual experience that simulates the challenges their clients face.
